Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel could become just the second two-time winner of the award, joining former Ohio State running back Archie Griffin. Heck, why stop there? Manziel can do anything. Maybe, just for kicks, he’ll try to win his fourth Heisman playing only at placekicker.

Look, Manziel’s awesome—but you’d better believe we’ll take the field against him in 2013, thank you very much.

3. Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina (30/1). Manti Te’o proved that a defensive star doesn’t even have to have great stats to have a shot at winning. Clowney—who’ll enter the season as the consensus No. 1 defensive player in the country—could take a run at 20 sacks. We suggest a two-step sack dance for him in 2013: stand and stiffarm.

4. Marcus Mariota, Oregon (no line). Don’t even try to tell us this guy’s any less talented than Manziel. Mariota’s numbers will be spectacular in the fall. And, let’s be honest, this is a quarterback’s award; Mariota has a better shot at it than teammate Thomas.
